12 And 12A, St Margaret'S Street

Nos 12 and 12A on St Margaret's Street are early 19th-century buildings that stand three storeys tall. They are constructed of ashlar stone and topped with a slate roof featuring eaves and end gable parapets with kneelers. A stringcourse runs between the first and second floors. The buildings have three windows, with sash windows that include glazing bars on the second floor (the center window is blocked) and later sashes on the first floor. The late 19th-century shop front includes a double entrance beneath an overall fascia, complete with a moulded entablature and moulded pilasters. Thin colonnettes with foliated capitals separate the glazing. These buildings are part of a group that includes the Three Horseshoes, Nos 1 to 4 Frome Road, the Liberal Club, the Baptist Chapel, the Congregational Church and Hall, and several other consecutive properties on St Margaret's Street and St Margaret's Hill.
